Today I watched A Titus video about customizing his terminal to make it less ugly. And to install new fonts he had to type some weird commands to find where those files were stored and some other alien commands to get them installed.
Do you know what I don't have to do in windows to get a font installed ? None of that. Open the file like normal people do and click install. No wizardry spells to learn
doesn't KDE just let you double-click the TTFs and install them that way?
Gnome works like that too- double click on the TTF/OTF and you get a window with a preview of the font and an install button.
Why would you watch a terminal video if you're afraid of it?
Curiosity
Then he did it because he wanted to, not because he had to. You can just double-click the fonts in your file manager and preview/install the font if youβre using a typical distro/desktop environment.
Edit: he likes to customise his environment to hell afaik, so he probably has a non-standard setup
Why would you customize your terminal on windows if you never use it though lol. Also for me it's the other way around. Had to start dualbooting again recently and i started using winget, because it's much more convenient than going through websites and downloading exe's. Maybe not as good as on linux, but a nice improvement.
